* Assuming that Karinthy did not duplicate titles for different stories and the synonymy of slightly different English titles, 10 (out of 51) of these stories and short theater pieces, some translated by other people, have been published elsewhere.  An identical translation found in another publication will be linked directly from the contents above. My Baby is identical in both publications indicated. The two versions of On the Train are very close, but there are slight differences—elisions, additions, and other alterations—in the Lilliput publication. “Conversation with a Good Man” is the same story as “Conversation with a Decent Man” in Grave and Gay.
